Sant'Elena
Sant'Elena is an island of Venice. It lies at the eastern tip of the main island group and forms part of sestiere of Castello. The original island was separated by an arm of the Venetian Lagoon from Venice itself, and was centred on the Church of Sant'Elena and its monastery, originally built in the twelfth century and rebuilt in the 15th.
The island has since been expanded to fill in the gap and is linked by Venice by three bridges. It includes the Rimembranze Park, a naval college and a football stadium, Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, in addition to residential areas and Venice Bienniale buildings.
The belltower has a ring of 6 bells in B rung with the Veronese bellringing art.

Sant'Elena (Rome)
Sant'Elena or Sant'Elena fuori Porta Prenestina is a church in Rome (Italy), in the Prenestino-Labicano Quarter, facing on Via Casilina.
History
The church was built by Pope Pius X as a memorial of the 16th centenary of the Edict of Milan (313), when Roman Emperors Constantine I and Licinius acknowledged Christianity as a licit and lawful religion within the Empire; it was dedicated to Constantine's mother, Helena. The church – based on a design by the architect Giuseppe Palombi – was built between 1913 and 1914, opened to worship on April 2, 1914 and was consecrated on 17 September 1916.
The church rises in the so-called Quarto di Sant'Elena ("Quarter of St. Helen"), mentioned into documents dating back to the last years of the 14th century. An act by notary A. Scambi dated May 10, 1379 refers to an eight-rubbi (14,7 hectares) vineyard placed "in quartum qui dicitur sancta Erina". The prior of the cloister of Santa Maria Nova, on October 15, 1382, sold the fruits from the "terre da sancta Helena" ("lands of St. Helen") through an administrative deed by the Roman notary Venettini. St. Helen's estate bordered on the hamlet of St. John Lateran and on the hamlet of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. On November 25, 1424 the cloister of Santa Maria Nova sold to the Lateran Chapter a plot of 25 rubbi (46,2 hectares) through a deed by the Roman notary Nardo Venettini (Arch. Cap., Sez. I, t. 785 bis, vol. 10 f. 186).
